Abstract
A revision of sorne basic concepts related to the analysis of variance of repeated measures is presented within an ecological context. Topics such as the types of experiments in which the technique is applicable, the hypothese.s of interest, and its preference over other traditional techniques such as regression and conventional analysis of variance, are discussed. As an example, the technique was successfully applied to an experiment carried out at Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, Colombia, in which the concentration of cadmium µg/g p.s in leaves of the black mangrove Avicennia germinans was measured in several monitoring stations and throughout several sampling intervals representing seasons.
